OMORI is a surreal psychological horror RPGmaker game. You must travel between two worlds, both welcoming, both concealing the same secrets. Meet new (old) people, fight new (old) enemies, explore your own memories, and uncover some hidden truths along the way (although you wish you hadn't.)
When the time comes, you can only choose one.

$30,000 Expanded Intro and Cutscenes. I will be creating more animation pieces like the ones from the OMORI trailer and inserting them in game. (SMASHED!)

$50,000 A Mac port of the game will be distributed to all $15+ backers along with the PC Version of the game. You will essentially be receiving two copies of the game. (SMASHED!)

$65,000 Mini-Games will be playable through in-game arcade machines. In the world of OMORI, there is a diner called GINO's. In the hallway of this diner is an old arcade machine, and although it's broken now, it will be playable after a certain point in the game. However, I found that there was another good opportunity to include more fun retro Mini-Games within this game. If this goal is reached, we will be including more arcade machines (I won't tell you where because spoilers) that will each have their own mini-game... because that would be awesome and also crazy.

$80,000 Extended side-quests in the game (like there weren't enough already). We currently have over 60 NPC's in just one side of the OMORI game, and we plan for the player to have the opportunity to become immersed in each of their lives. Therefore, it is very important that we have enough quests to establish this connection between players and NPC's. If this stretch goal is reached, we will be adding more daily quests, some extra (kind of scary) mini-bosses, and at least two major (hard to find) side quest strings that involve multiple people in the town and may spawn some alternate endings... We will be hiring an extra programmer as well.

$100,000 Japanese localization! Thank you for all your support, Japan! We never expected to get this reaction overseas. We are pleasantly surprised and super grateful. As a big thank-you, we've added this. If this stretch goal is reached, OMORI will be getting a Japanese translation. You will be able to choose which language of the game you would like in the survey after the Kickstarter.

$125,000 An OMORI Game Artbook and Walkthrough that will reveal all the game's secrets (there are a lot) and include concept work and groundwork behind OMORI will be available by adding $35 to your REWARDS Tier BEFORE THE END OF THE KICKSTARTER. A survey will be conducted after the Kickstarter in order to make sure you get your desired prizes. As an added bonus, all $55+ backers will receive the OMORI Game walkthrough in PDF format including the two copies of the game, the wallpaper, the OST, and the pin set.

$180,000
A Nintendo 3DS version of the game will be available as a choice to replace either the PC or Mac version of the game for $15+ backers. (All 15+ backers get two version of the game.)

$250,000
A PS Vita version of the game will be available as a choice to replace the PC, Mac, or Nintendo 3DS version of the game for $15+ backers.

That's it! Let's get crackin'!

OMORI is a character has been described as a
"depressed otaku."He started off as a character who lived on a blog, which lasted from December 2011 until March 2012.

In 2012, OMOCAT completed OMORI'S STORY, a short story about OMORI and his neighbors. Later that year, she completed OMORI'S SKETCHBOOK, an experimental picture book featuring OMORI's creations. She even started writing and illustrating an OMORI graphic novel, finishing the prologue and mapping out Chapter 1.

However, OMOCAT always envisioned OMORI as a game; and with the help of some friends (and you), the OMORI video game can be brought to life.

Welcome to WHITE SPACE. Your name is OMORI and you've been living here for as long as you can remember. Everything is bright white; there aren't any walls. A black lightbulb hangs from the ceiling… wherever it is. There's a floor but it's always cold. The warmest thing here is probably your laptop. You don't mind though. You have a blanket, a laptop, a cat, a sketchbook, and a tissue box. You have everything you need.

You are usually upset. Everyone annoys you, you think you are ugly, you don't know where you came from, you don't know where you are going, and you're too tired to care.

On good days, your neighbors invite you over for a visit. "How can they have fun with someone as horrible as me?" You miss them now. When will they come again? Maybe today will be a good day!

Or maybe today is a day for sleeping.

But...Sometimes you're reminded you used to have another friend-- someone really important.

Somewhere in the back of your head, you have an inkling feeling that you weren't always like this. You weren't always living in WHITE SPACE.

The truth is...

Your story is already over.You just have to remember it.

OMOCAT is an illustrator known for a variety of work that ranges from very personal art and comics (Pretty Boy!!) to fanart of various video games and anime to some kickass shirt and crewneck designs. Aside from being an artist, she runs her own online
store and is currently working on OMORI (this), a project that has been on her mind since the start of her career.

----------------------

PEDRO SILVA is a musician and, as soon as this project comes to fruition, a composer from San Juan Bautista, CA. Their main project "Slime Girls" combines the feelings of an eternal summer seen only through your TV screen with earnest punk rock energy and heavy influence from various eras of J-Pop. With OMORI, that same emphasis on affecting vibes and lilting emotions you can't quite place will be presented not through the lens of pop music but through the unique medium that only a video game can provide. Drawing from a lifelong influence of VGM always close to the heart, together with OMOCAT's impassioned vision and Jami's ability to synthesize sentiment into song, they hope to create an experience you'll treasure.

----------------------

JAMI CARIGNAN (Heads Up! Hot Dogs, Wonder Momo: Typhoon Booster) is a composer and performing musician from Los Angeles, CA. As their performing artist persona, “Space Boyfriend”, Jami blends pop music with the emotional imperfection of punk rock and Japanese silver-age idol music to create an experience that pushes forward into the future with the ideals of youth and hope. Drawing inspiration from games like EarthBound/MOTHER, Animal Crossing, Persona, and Umihara Kawase, Jami, along with Pedro, hopes to express an earnest and sentimental connection with the themes of OMORI to create an unforgettable and lastingly meaningful experience with the help of your heart.

ARCHEIA is a freelance artist and indie game developer that is currently working under DEGICA/Enterbrain for the RPG Maker Franchise.

You might be wondering where the $$$ will be going. The $$$ will be used to sustain everyone while working on the game. The $$$ will be used to fund everyone working on this project, for music and programming equipment, other game-making things, and also for making and shipping our ~*~*fabulous tier prizes*~*~.

Risks and challenges

We have a clear direction of the game and where it will be headed. However, even though the tentative release date for the game is early 2015, game-making is never a smooth straight route and certain factors may delay the time of release. We will simply do our best to overcome these obstacles in an efficient and timely manner, and make sure the game is at it's very best at the time of release.
